    hmmm… beating an undefeated, young, in his prime fighter that was ranked number 3 P4P or beating an overhyped, green, drained fighter at a catchweight…

    This is a tough decision…..

    A fighter who had nearly 50 fights, green.

    A fighter who weighed a whopping 1 pound lighter in his previous fight, drained.

    But beating an undefeated, young, in his prime fighter ... Oh wait that was Canelo too. Funny you only use those terms to describe Bradley. :think

    You would also agree that Cotto was not shot and not weight drained too right?

    I actually think Bradley would have won that fight if he had 2 good legs instead of 1.....

    Bradley was an actual P4P fighter, not just placed on a P4P list because he was fighting Mayweather, ala Guerrero. Hell, he was consistently rated #3 P4P before fighting Pacquiao in the rematch. A lot of Mayweather and Bradley fans even thought he'd beat Pacquiao because of his showings in the Marquez fight.

    Canelo is not and has not ever been a P4P fighter. He lost to Lara. Yeah, Lara's style sucks and everything, but he won that fight.

    Bradley only has 2 legitimate wins at 147 pounds: Provo (who fights at 140) and Marquez. (Only wins at 147 are against Pac and Alvarado) Bradley has actually never beat a real welterweight that has proven to be a consistent contender in the division.

    The Pac nuthuggers in full support of Pac as usual. Logging on alts, whatever it takes. So pathetic. Alvarez is by far more accomplished at 154 than Bradley is at 147. Not even a discussion. It's not even remotely close.

    - Alvarez who won the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title against Matthew Hatton (41-4-2) who never fought above 147.

    - Ryan Rhodes (45-4).

    - Shot and past his prime Kermit Cintron (33-4-1).

    - Shot and past his prime Shane Mosley (46-7-1).

    - Josesito Lopez (30-4), only fought once at Welterweight and then moved up to 154 against Alvarez.

    Atleast Bradley was Top 3 P4P undefeated WBO Champion when Pacquiao defeated him at the full 147 pounds, unlike the catchweight of 152 pounds for Mayweather-Alvarez with Titles on the line.
    Bradley has a way better resume than Alvarez by far.
